Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Nguyen
Xuan Phuc and National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan visited former
General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Do Muoi on the occasion of
the upcoming Lunar New Year (Tet).

They wished him good health and informed him
about the country’s socio-economic development situation in 2017.

They said the economic growth reached the
highest level over the past few years while the local lives in remote,
disadvantaged and natural disaster areas were taken care of.

Particularly, the historical achievement of the
U-23 national football team as the runners-up of the Asian Football
Confederation (AFC) U-23 Championship won the heart of millions of Vietnamese
people.

The former Party leader hoped PM Phuc and NA
Chairwoman Ngan will fulfil their missions assigned by the Party, State and
people to boost the country’s sustainable development in politics, economics,
culture and society.

Born on February 2, 1917, former Party General
Secretary Do Muoi assumed the position as the Party leader from June 1991 to
December 1997.-VNA
